First post to Rush Hour and YHC has the Q. Familiar site and area of operation. However, I did not anticipate the traffic - what a difference there is between 0545 and 1745. And at this time of year, it is still gloomy so felt right at home. What to my wondering eye should appear, it is Riptide, and he is running in!?!?. Seems odd, Rip is not really the EC/Insomnia/Running type, but hey - people change……………. [Read More]

Twas a gloomy morning with rain in sight. 50 degrees. Cloudy YHC had just finished the EC Insomnia run with Flip Flop and Shut-IN. Flipper shared words of concern to the Q, as running insomnia sometimes causes loss of memory for the later workout. Words from a HIM were accepted and we moved on. Shouts of “1Min” occurred, although it did not seem to phase the hungry PAXs as the MC continued.

YHC was truly impressed with all the CARPex crazies talking EC last night on the MC Groupme channel. Between Insomnia, EC Ruck, OTB in South Wake and Pittsboro — and a Tortoise Challenge from @f3earhart — was anyone going to Post at the Utopia that is the unofficial Wednesday CARPex convergence? As @flipflopcarpex and YHC rolled into the parking lot, the answered seemed to be “no”. Lots of dark, homogenic, exhaust-spewing vehicles but little cold breath to be seen. [Read More]
